Designing a bathroom is the most crucial yet the most enjoyable and challenging part. There are number of factors to consider before the actual construction begins. It is ideal to start making a sketch – a bird’s eye view scale is recommended. When it comes to remodeling an old bathroom, start first by copying the existing design and begin analyzing the things that need to be relocated or replaced. In your layout, consider the actual size of the bathroom – from floor to ceiling – and convert it to smaller measurements or make representations of the actual sizes. Say, from square foot to square inch on your sketch. Include therein the wall details, the distance from the wall to toilet and sink, the location of windows and doors as well as the placement of electrical outlets, switches and fixtures. This would help you visualize and come up with the exact measurements, correct placements, ideal spaces and right sizes for the fixtures needed.

Once the layout is ready, seek a plumber’s advice regarding the proper placement of the mechanical systems. This is to ensure that the drain and pipes are in the correct areas and to make the bathroom easy to repair when a problem occurs. Next is to consult an electrician on the electrical equipment needed as well as the ideal placements of lights. Once you are able to obtain the necessary details, you may now start peeking on your budget, which would be your basis for the type of materials to be bought that includes tiling, painting, lighting and fixtures to finish.

As soon as you come up with your budget for designing a bathroom, start looking for extensive style ideas. Then decide on the specific mood you want your bathroom to set. Use lighter colors for an energetic mood or darker ones for a cozy look. The finishing materials, fixtures, accessories and storage details shall be next on the list. Keep it simple when choosing sinks, faucets, tubs, cabinets and other fittings to make it easy to clean. Choose between a shiny chrome, brass or brushed pewter with mid-tone neutral colors as the colors last longer or a light-colored neutral to give a spacious look. Indulge in your way of styling. Start choosing the colors and patterns you love for your wall coverings.

To finalize your scheme on designing a bathroom, begin making your bathroom’s layout. You may choose from a one-walled bathroom, an L-shaped bathroom, a corridor bathroom or a U-shaped bathroom. Cut out cardboard’s to represent the chosen fixtures. Lay the templates over your new layout then trace the areas or components that cannot be moved. Then start visualizing and planning for possible changes. Position and reposition your tub to compare placements and come up with an easy access. Next, place the towel rack against the wall nearest to the tub followed by a sliding door if you need one. Lastly, locate the sink and vanity cabinets. If you wish, consult a professional designer to help you out. Once ready, let the construction begin.
